This fact of health science should stun individuals trying to lose weight.Nothing less than a walking HABIT over years will let you just maintain a recommended weight. Diet is clearly more important.On the other hand a drastic diet can only lead to malnourishment and poor health.The striking obesity epidemic in the United States must be explained by a combination of poor diet and a lack of regular exercise. But after a certain point obesity is hopeless. It just needs sympathetic understanding.

An account of Bertrand Russell's daughter who became a Christian [ "Through the long years I have sought peace, I found ecstasy, I found anguish, I found madness, I found loneliness. I found the solitary pain that gnaws the heart, But peace I did not find.
An Atheist’s Daughter
Would you like to have an insight into the thinking of the daughter of one of the world’s most prominent atheists? Then read this article. It pertains to the daughter of Bertrand Russell, the famed British philosopher.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970), a British mathematician and philosopher, was applauded as one of the world’s profound thinkers. In 1959 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature on the basis that he was “a defender of humanity and freedom of thought.” He authored more than 40 books covering such subjects as philosophy, education, sex, and morality.
Religious Philosophy
At times, Russell claimed to be an atheist. In his essay, “Why I Am Not a Christian,” he wrote: “I do not believe in God” (1957, 5).
On other occasions, he positioned himself as an agnostic. In the volume, Religions of America, Russell was asked to contribute an article titled, “What is an agnostic?”, since he was perceived as being such. In that piece, however, he conceded that “for practical purposes” the agnostics are “at one with the atheists” (Rosten, 1975, 286).
In a bizarre, absolutely unrealistic sense, Russell did not mind being called a Christian. In one essay, in discussing, “Can an Agnostic be a Christian?”, he wrote: “If you mean by a ‘Christian’ a man who loves his neighbor, who has wide sympathy with suffering, and who ardently desires a world freed from the cruelties and abominations that at present disfigure it, then, certainly, you will be justified in calling me a Christian” (Tait, 1975, 289).
Russell’s views of religion and morality caused a furor in the early decades of the 20th century. In 1940 he was fired from the College of the City of New York, and yet, his ideas probably prepared the way for the widespread climate of anti-religious sentiment so prominent in today’s society.
I have been interested in Russell’s writings for many years, and a number of his volumes make their rude presence felt among the noble ones on my shelves. I also have an autobiography, along with several biographies, of the controversial gentleman. I collected them for the sake of analysis and review, and, quite frankly, I have concluded that the noted philosopher was much overrated and erratically inconsistent. In fact, one authority observed that Russell not infrequently argued conflicting ethical positions; he “traversed all of the major positions in contemporary ethics in the course of his writings” (Stolnitz, 511). All of them, that is, except the right one!
Katharine’s Testimony
Several years ago, while browsing in a bookshop in the east, a volume with Russell’s photograph on the dust cover caught my eye. The title was, My Father—Bertrand Russell, by Katharine Tait.
Katharine Tait was Russell’s only daughter. She was born in London in 1923 and was educated at her parents’ innovative school, Beacon Hill. It was a small academy dedicated to the promotion of “free thought”; in other words, atheistic humanism.
In this fascinating book the author attempts to explain what it was like having Bertrand Russell for a father. It is not a lovely picture. The following glimpses into Russell’s life and teachings come from one who loved him with devotion, though not always agreeing with him. It could not be more objective.
Marriage
Tait is very candid about her father’s adulterous adventures. “Once my father had freed himself of his original Puritanism, he was never again a one-woman man, though each new love might seem to be the ideal, he did not want to be irrevocably committed” (101-102).
“Having given up strict monogamy with the end of his first marriage, he no longer felt any need to restrict his affections, which he distributed most liberally throughout the rest of his life” (46).
When he was once asked, “if it wasn’t unkind of him to love and leave so many women,” he replied: “Why? Surely they can find other men” (106).
The celebrated figure lived on the “alley cat” level, but such never bothered his skeptical fans; with them, there is no moral code. Or, as Russell himself once put it, “Outside human desire there is no moral standard” (1957, 62). Adolf Hitler and Charlie Manson would have endorsed this philosophical code entirely.
Apparently, however, the British scholar was unwilling to accept the consequences of his own “freedom.” For instance, he felt that “adulterous intercourse” should not “lead to children” (104), for a “stable marriage was important to the children” (102). Apparently it was not “important” in the case of his own daughter.
Though he wanted his sexual license to be unrestrained, when one of his wives became pregnant by another man, Russell was “hurt and angered and wounded in his family pride” (107).
Katharine wrote: “Once I asked him if I should sleep with an amiable young man of my acquaintance. ‘Do you love him?’ ‘No, not really.’ ‘Then I shouldn’t. It’s best to save that for someone you love and not treat it lightly’” (155-156). This was the epitome of inconsistency.
Is it not odd how libertine men can be so protective of their daughters, while caring nothing for the daughters of others? Tait had this interesting comment: “...it turned out that the new morality was no easier and no more natural than the ideal of rigorous life-long monogamy it was intended to replace.” And again: “Free marriage had proved more difficult than he had expected, its failure painful and expensive” (103, 118).
Man’s Origin
Russell was an ardent proponent of Darwinism. He taught his children that “mankind was no more than an accident of evolution” (178). When he traveled with his family, his daughter recalls, “he suggested that we might lean out the windows when we passed other cars and shout out: ‘Your grandfather was a monkey.’ This was to convince them of the correctness of Darwin’s theory of evolution” (4).
Tait charged: “When he wanted to attack religion, he sought out its most egregious errors and held them up to ridicule, while avoiding serious discussion of the basic message” (188).
It is small wonder that the philosopher had such a depressing outlook upon his fellows. In his autobiography he wrote:
“The sea, the stars, the night wind in waste places, mean more to me than even the human beings I love best, and I am conscious that human affection is to me at bottom an attempt to escape from the vain search for God” (1968, II, 36).
But the confused gentleman could not live with his views.
“Christians were mocked for imagining that man is important in the vast scheme of the universe, even the high point of all creation—yet my father thought man and his preservation the most important thing in the world, and he lived in hopes of a better life to come” (184).
Morality
Russell believed that a parent must teach his child “with its very first breath that it has entered into a moral world” (59). And yet, as with all atheists, he had a most difficult time explaining why, if man is simply the produce of natural forces, children should be taught morality. Ms. Tait recalled various conversations relative to moral matters in which she and her father engaged when she was a youngster.
“I don’t want to! Why should I?” she pressed. She noted that a conventional parent might reply: “Because I say so ... your father says so ... God says so....” Russell, however, would say to his children: “Because more people will be happy if you do than if you don’t.”
“So what?”, she would respond, “I don’t care about other people.”
“But you should,” her father would retort.
In her innocence she would exclaim: “But why?” To her question the redundant rejoinder would be: “Because more people will be happy if you do than if you don’t.”
Tait observed: “We felt the heavy pressure of his rectitude and obeyed, but the reason was not convincing—neither to us nor to him” (184-185).
The confused celebrity could hardly impress his children with any kind of moral sense of responsibility when, as noted above, he himself taught: “Outside human desire there is no moral standard” (1957, 62).
A Vain Search for Peace
As mentioned earlier, Professor Russell once said that “human affection” was but “an attempt to escape the vain search for God.” His daughter declared:
“I believe myself that his whole life was a search for God.... Indeed, he had first taken up philosophy in hope of finding proof of the evidence of the existence of God ... Somewhere at the back of my father’s mind, at the bottom of his heart, in the depths of his soul [which he did not believe he had—WJ] there was an empty space that had once been filled by God, and he never found anything else to put in it” (185).
That statement is not quite correct. When God was banished from his heart, he replaced the vacuum with frustration, anger, and atheistic attempts to destroy the faith that flourished in the hearts of others. Such an evil disposition compounds one’s culpability considerably.
The wretchedness of his emotional state at times reached depths of great pathos. In a letter penned in 1920, he wrote:
“But I do know the despair in my soul. I know the great loneliness, as I wander through the world like a ghost, speaking in tones that are not heard, lost as if I had fallen from some other planet” (1968, I, 145).
Ray Monk is a professor of philosophy at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom. In his highly acclaimed book, Bertrand Russell—The Spirit of Solitude 1872-1921 (xix), he records the words of a poem composed by Russell, and addressed, “To Edith.”
Through the long years
I have sought peace,
I found ecstasy,
I found anguish,
I found madness,
I found loneliness.
I found the solitary pain
that gnaws the heart,
But peace I did not find.
Such was a fitting epitaph for a tragic life.

Many on the Left fail to see just how serious is ZIONIST Jew control of the mainstream news media in " OUR democracy " . How serious ZIONIST Jew censorship of American public opinion. And how THEY always equate Anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism. But , of course, one can only wonder how genocide in Gaza, Palestine assures " NEVER AGAIN ! " . Every party line of incorrigible Neo-Nazis is not necessarily a BIG LIE . " Jew hatred " in the more recent decades can be attributed more to APARTHEID Israel's crimes against humanity than to Dark Age ignorance .

Viele Linke erkennen nicht, wie schwerwiegend die Kontrolle der zionistischen Juden über die Mainstream-Medien in „UNSERER Demokratie“ ist. Wie schwerwiegend die Zensur der amerikanischen öffentlichen Meinung durch die zionistischen Juden ist. Und wie SIE Antizionismus immer mit Antisemitismus gleichsetzen. Man kann sich natürlich nur fragen, wie der Völkermord im palästinensischen Gazastreifen „NIEMALS WIEDER!“ beteuern kann. Nicht jede Parteilinie unverbesserlicher Neonazis ist zwangsläufig eine GROSSE LÜGE. Der „Judenhass“ der letzten Jahrzehnte ist eher auf die Verbrechen Israels gegen die Menschlichkeit während der Apartheid zurückzuführen als auf die Ignoranz des Mittelalters. Will der weltweit zum Kriegsverbrecher erklärte Benjamin Netanjahu diese dunkle Vergangenheit wiederbeleben?

El Partido Demócrata, GUERRERO DESPIERTO, ha estado preparando el terreno para el fascismo estadounidense mucho antes de que Donald Trump entrara en la escena política. Durante décadas se ha burlado de la tradición de la LIBERTAD DE EXPRESIÓN y el LIBRE PENSAMIENTO de la civilización occidental. Incluso ha arruinado la CIENCIA con su absurda "política de identidad" y su "Teoría Crítica de la Raza". Su concepto de liberación de género parece sacado de "1984" de George Orwell, donde 2 + 2 = 5. Y su interminable fanfarronería sobre el apartheid sionista es la preparación para una Tercera Guerra Mundial nuclear.
It's Time to Confront the Reality of Fascism in America
The WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party has been preparing the ground for American fascism long before Donald Trump was on the political scene. For decades now it has mocked the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization . It has even effectively ruined SCIENCE with its ludicrous " identity politics " and " Critical Race Theory ". Its concept of gender liberation is right out of George Orwell's " 1984 " where 2+2 = 5 . And its endless slobbering over Zionist APARTHEID is preparation for nuclear World War III .

El talento filosófico de la secta itinerante del Nuevo Ateísmo está al nivel intelectual de un estudiante de segundo año de universidad, no lo suficientemente brillante para una clase de física y cálculo a nivel universitario. Pero la AUTOESTIMA narcisista siempre ayuda en el mundo del espectáculo.
Como socialista democrático independiente de larga trayectoria, he sospechado durante años que las celebridades de la gira del Nuevo Ateísmo son TODOS unos descarados cómplices del capitalismo global, el imperialismo estadounidense y el sionismo israelí, sumamente irracionales.
¿Cómo puede ser una creencia en Dios, aún casi universal, más "irracional" que una sociedad capitalista belicista basada en MENTIRAS y BRUTALIDAD, en la explotación y opresión diarias de los miles de millones de personas de la clase trabajadora del mundo, en su mayoría religiosas?
¿Estaban las celebridades de los Nuevos Ateos preparadas para decirle a su público que votara por el Partido Demócrata de los Guerreros Despertados de Kamala Harris y Joe Biden?
8 Minutes that Demonstrates the Irrationality of Organized Religion
The philosophical talent of the New Atheist roadshow cult is on the intellectual level of a college sophomore not quite bright enough for a college level physics-calculus class. But narcissistic SELF-APPRECIATION always helps in show business.
As a longtime independent democratic socialist I have suspected for years that the New Atheism roadshow celebs are ALL shameless shills for very IRRATIONAL global capitalism, American imperialism , and Israeli Zionism.
How is a still nearly universal belief in God more " irrational " than a capitalist warmongering society based on LIES & BRUTALITY , on the daily exploitation and oppression of the world's BILLIONS of working class - mostly religious - people ?
Were the New Atheists celebs prepared to tell their audience to vote for the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden ?

WE THE PEOPLE , WE THE MOSTLY CHRISTIAN WORKING CLASS , must form our own American Labor Party - a lot like the British Labor Party but less stuffy and compromised.

Una biografía de Malcolm X relata cómo habló sin rodeos a las multitudes de Harlem sobre los falsos y traicioneros amigos que tenían en el Partido Demócrata. Incluso afirmó que no se debía confiar en los judíos "liberales", especialmente. En 1965, Malcolm X relacionó el racismo con el capitalismo, y el imperialismo estadounidense. Mi cita favorita de Malcolm X: "Muéstrame un capitalista y te mostraré un chupasangre". Una opinión confirmada por la experiencia de los afroamericanos con los dueños de barrios marginales de Nueva York. Malcolm X reflexionó: "Llámame antisemita, pero la verdad es la verdad". ¿Acaso el ejército estadounidense cree que puede reclutar como carne de cañón para la próxima guerra a jóvenes negros que ondean la bandera palestina en las manifestaciones de protesta de Black Lives Matter que llenan las calles de "nuestra democracia
Malcolm X Warned Us About Palestine – This Speech Was a Prophecy
A biography of Malcolm X told how he spoke bluntly to Harlem crowds about what false and treacherous friends they had in the Democratic Party . He even said that " liberal " Jews , especially, should not be trusted . Way back in 1965 Malcolm X made a connection between racism and capitalism, between racism and American imperialism . My favorite Malcolm X quote : " Show me a capitalist and I will show you a blood sucker ". An opinion confirmed by the Black American experience with slum lords in New York City . Malcolm X reflected : " Call me anti-Semitic , but truth is truth " . Does the US military think it can recruit as cannon fodder for the next war young black youths waving the Palestinian flag in BLACK LIVES MATTER protest demonstrations filling the streets of " OUR democracy " ?
Una storia di pesce [ An Italian translation for better or worse of my short horror tale " A fishy Story " ]
Una storia di pesce
Ieri sera ho fatto un incubo, forse ispirato dalla zuppa "occhio di pesce" che ho visto assaggiare da un uomo noto come "Old Salt" in un ristorante di East Providence. Nell'incubo ero di nuovo a Washington Park negli anni '50, in un negozio di pesci d'acquario esotici chiamato Dagon's.
Ero in compagnia del mio amico Norman, il "ragazzo scienziato". Norman espresse il desiderio di acquistare un pesce insolitamente bello per la sua insegnante di scienze, la signorina Brodie, per la quale aveva una cotta preadolescenziale.
Il vecchio signor Dagon disse con tono scoraggiante: "Ma come, sembra che non possieda nulla!". Il prezzo del pesce era di 50 dollari, davvero un po' troppo caro per il povero Norman.
Poi l'incubo si confuse con la realtà. Ricordo che Norman tornò da Dagon's il giorno dopo e, senza accennarmi a cosa avesse in mente, versò una pastiglia di Alka-Seltzer nella vasca del pesce tanto desiderato.
Tornammo da Dagon dopo la scuola e vedemmo il terribile risultato del diabolico scherzo di Norman: il bellissimo pesce era ora un cadavere bianco e gonfio. Il signor Dagon lo stava semplicemente tirando fuori dalla boccia. Lanciò a Norman il "malocchio".
Quell'estate la signorina Brodie, in luna di miele in Sud America, fu attaccata da un banco di piranha affamati. Non ci fu nemmeno un funerale.

Ma la sua setta dei Nuovi Atei ha decisamente un programma politico piuttosto reazionario. Sono TUTTI fanatici del capitalismo globale, dell'imperialismo americano e del sionismo israeliano. No, niente di male! Convertiranno il mondo intero all'ateismo militante? Improbabile. Tendono ad attrarre falsi intellettuali piccolo-borghesi con un atteggiamento decisamente snob nei confronti dei CRISTIANI della classe operaia e mostrano una tossica islamofobia.

Chi è questo NOI che "abbandonerebbe i cristiani"? Oltre agli evangelisti del Nuovo Ateismo? Chi è questo NOI che "abbandonerebbe i cristiani"?

Lo STALINISMO, senza la pretesa di "comunismo", è oggi ben rappresentato nel Partito Democratico WOKE WARRIOR (dominato da ebrei SIONISTI laici, sostenitori del criminale di guerra Benjamin Netanyahu nell'APARTHEID di Israele e del guerrafondaio e truffatore V.

Кажется, существует ожесточенный раскол между крылом WASP «Старых денег», которое получило контроль через MAGA-республиканскую партию Дональда Трампа, и крылом светских сионистских евреев «Новых денег», все еще хорошо представленным Демократической партией WOKE WARRIOR Джо Байдена, Камалы Харрис и сенатора Чака Шумера. Обе основные политические партии США пропагандируют ядерную Третью мировую войну с ПОСТКОММУНИСТИЧЕСКОЙ Россией, исламским Ираном и псевдокоммунистическим Китаем. Им все равно, что думает большинство рабочего класса ХРИСТИАН! Обе партии считают себя опорой сионистского АПАРТЕИДА Израиля и военных преступлений мира, объявленных военным преступником Биньямином Нетаньяху. Республиканская партия Трампа (MAGA) лишь немного колеблется в своей многомиллиардной поддержке украинского правительства поджигателя войны и казнокрада В. Зеленского, который сделал себя пожизненным президентом «Великого Израиля» (Украина).

Die amerikanische Plutokratie kontrolliert de facto das „ZWEIPARTEIENSYSTEM“ in „UNSERER Demokratie“. Doch in den Elitekreisen der amerikanischen herrschenden Klasse herrscht nicht alles in Harmonie. Es scheint eine erbitterte Spaltung zwischen dem WASP-Flügel des „alten Geldes“, der durch Donald Trumps MAGA-Republikanische Partei an die Macht gekommen ist, und dem säkularen zionistisch-jüdischen Flügel des „neuen Geldes“ zu geben, der immer noch gut durch die WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party von Joe Biden, Kamala Harris und Senator Chuck Schumer vertreten ist. Beide großen politischen Parteien der USA propagieren einen nuklearen dritten Weltkrieg mit dem postkommunistischen Russland, dem islamischen Iran und dem pseudokommunistischen China. Was die christliche Mehrheit der Arbeiterklasse denkt, ist ihnen völlig egal! Beide Parteien sehen sich als tragende Säulen des zionistischen APARTHEID-Israels und der Kriegsverbrechen des weltweit zum Kriegsverbrecher erklärten Benjamin Netanjahu. Trumps MAGA-Republikanische Partei schwankt nur geringfügig in ihrer milliardenschweren Unterstützung für die ukrainische Regierung des Kriegstreibers und Unterschlagers W. Selenskyj, der sich selbst zum Präsidenten auf Lebenszeit in der Ukraine „Großisrael“ gemacht hat.

La ploutocratie américaine contrôle de fait le « SYSTÈME BIPARTISTE » de « NOTRE démocratie ». Cependant, tout n'est pas harmonieux au sein de l'élite dirigeante américaine. Il semble y avoir une profonde division entre l'aile WASP « Old Money », qui a pris le contrôle grâce au Parti républicain MAGA de Donald Trump, et l'aile juive sioniste laïque « New Money », toujours bien représentée par le Parti démocrate WARRIOR de Joe Biden, Kamala Harris et le sénateur Chuck Schumer. Les deux principaux partis politiques américains promeuvent une troisième guerre mondiale nucléaire avec la Russie postcommuniste, l'Iran islamique et la Chine pseudocommuniste. Ils se moquent éperdument de l'opinion de la majorité chrétienne de la classe ouvrière ! Les deux partis se considèrent comme des piliers du soutien à l'apartheid sioniste israélien et aux crimes de guerre du criminel de guerre proclamé dans le monde entier, Benjamin Netanyahou. Le parti républicain MAGA de Trump ne vacille que légèrement dans son soutien de plusieurs milliards de dollars au gouvernement ukrainien du belliciste et détourneur de fonds V. Zelensky qui s'est autoproclamé président à vie du « Grand Israël » en Ukraine.

La plutocracia estadounidense controla efectivamente el sistema bipartidista en nuestra democracia. Sin embargo, no todo es armonioso en los círculos de la élite dominante estadounidense. Parece haber una profunda división entre el ala WASP (demócrata anglosajón) de los viejos ricos, que ha ganado el control a través del Partido Republicano (MAGA) de Donald Trump, y el ala judía sionista secular de los nuevos ricos, aún bien representada por el Partido Demócrata WOKE WARRIOR de Joe Biden, Kamala Harris y el senador Chuck Schumer. Los dos principales partidos políticos estadounidenses promueven una Tercera Guerra Mundial nuclear con la Rusia poscomunista, el Irán islámico y la China pseudocomunista. ¡Les importa un bledo lo que piense la mayoría cristiana de la clase trabajadora! Ambos partidos se consideran pilares de apoyo al Israel sionista del apartheid y a los crímenes de guerra del proclamado criminal de guerra mundial Benjamin Netanyahu. El Partido Republicano-MAGA de Trump apenas vacila en su apoyo multimillonario al gobierno ucraniano del belicista y malversador V. Zelensky, quien se ha autoproclamado presidente vitalicio del "Gran Israel", Ucrania.

‘Kicked him out of town’: Elon Musk ‘leaving in disgrace’ after 4 chaoti... [ Not everything is harmonious in American ruling class elite circles ]
The American plutocracy is in effective control of the " TWO PARTY SYSTEM " in " OUR democracy ". However , not everything is harmonious in American ruling class elite circles. There seems to be a bitter split between the " Old Money " WASP wing which has gained control though Donald Trump's MAGA-Republican Party and the " New Money " secular Zionist Jew wing ,still well represented by the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party of Joe Biden , Kamala Harris and Senator Chuck Schumer.
Both major USA political parties are promoting nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia and Islamic Iran and pseudo- communist China . They could care less what the working class CHRISTIAN majority think !
Both parties see themselves as pillars of support for Zionist APARTHEID Israel and for the war crimes of the world proclaimed war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu . Trump's MAGA-Republican Party is only slightly wavering in its multi-billion dollar support for the Ukrainian government of the warmonger ,embezzler V. Zelensky who has made himself president for life in " Greater Israel " Ukraine .
Watch "POV: Discovering the Coulomb's Law From First Person Perspective" on YouTube
https://youtu.be/rrRpuSjI154?si=WByDecz8CxMvA9WD I know just enough high school physics to appreciate this video. In lecturing on any science topic very few teachers do not make presumptions about very important background knowledge. Without this even bright students will think that some topics are hopelessly over their heads.How do you acquire background knowledge? By reading around a topic in the absence of approachable teachers. Often acquired knowledge can feed human vanity: " I am just so much smarter than YOU!". Then use vocabulary and jargon unfamiliar to a curious learner.

Norm Finkelstein Reveals the "MAIN ENABLER" of Genocide in Gaza [ The kindest thing I can say about the Jews as a people today ]
The kindest thing I can say about the Jews as a people today ( and no human group is beneath sympathetic understanding ) is that for several generations now they have been mesmerized by a seductive myth as were the German people under Hitler in the post-Weimar Republic years .
To believe that HISTORY should see you as " special " is a step toward dangerous delusion. I recall Russian leader Vladimir Putin waning the United States about such hubris a few years ago.
But even in APARTHEID Israel WAR is a function of the ruling class. The average Jew there is no more bellicose than the average German in the heady days of Hitler's Third Reich . C. Wright Mills' book " The Power Elite " is still relevant today .

Israel Is Giving Settlers What They Wanted
The whole concept of a Jewish STATE - sold to us by the mainstream news media in " OUR democracy " - is , in fact , a mockery even of bourgeois democracy . Several generations ago, before "1948 ," socialist and communist parties around the world were practically dominated by radical left Jewish intellectuals( a few Marxist " vanguard " parties still are ) They professed " socialist internationalism " ! But then they , especially after the " glorious " 1967 War , had a sort of collective epiphany : for them the " Workers Paradise " in Russia was replaced by a vision of " Jew Heaven " ( HELL for the Palestinians ) in the Middle East.
There was never any referendum in " OUR democracy " where WE THE PEOPLE declared permanent friendship with Zionist APARTHEID Israel : " our special relationship with Israel " mantra .
By the way , is there any referendum support for nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia ? Wisdom from the " Tumultuous Sixties " : " What if THEY start a war and nobody shows up ? "
Who is this WE would " abandon Christians " ? Besides the New Atheism Cult evangelists ?
Who is this WE that would " abandon Christians " ? Last time I checked there were more than a billion Catholics and Protestants in the big world. The " officially atheist " STALINIST Soviet Union collapsed a generation ago. STALINISM minus the pretense of " communism " is today well represented in the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party ( dominated by secular ZIONIST Jews , cheerleaders for the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu in APARTHEID Israel and the warmonger , embezzler V. Zelensky in Ukraine) .
So just WHO wants to abandon CHRISTIANS ? Besides the New Atheism Cult evangelists ?

My Take on New Atheism as an Ex-Christian [ It is rather naive to think that a New Atheist type " epiphany " will guide your thinking on the burning issues of our time [
It is rather naive to think that having an New Atheist type " epiphany " early in life ,or rather late in life, will guide your thinking on the burning moral issues of our time : like the EVIL of global capitalism, American imperialism, and Israeli Zionism. None of THIS evil is being directed or inspired by any organized religion. Islamic " extremism " in Iran is conditioned by years of imperialist subjugation ( ending in 1979 with the overthrow of the Shah of Iran, a tool of the American CIA from the beginning. ) . The last time I checked the much maligned Catholic Church was very much involved in promoting WORLD PEACE , preventing nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia and Islamic Iran ( and pseudo- communist China ) .
The biggest mistake of the old Soviet Union was not that crude and grotesque attempt at SOCIALISM. It was making itself a dreary " officially atheist " tyranny.
As a longtime independent democratic socialist ( and pre-Vatican II type " Old Catholic " ) I see the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party which never stops bashing Catholicism and Christianity in general as a form of STALINISM USA, minus any pretense at " socialism " ". Hawkish Zionist Jew insiders in the Democratic Party , in fact, think that socialism is anti-Semitic !

For me ,a blogger , I have found GOOGLE rather amazing at answering factual questions.As a young student the Reference Room at the Providence Public Library was one of my favorite places for research and studying. Strangely it has disappeared. I think that computer technology in no way justifies this. I even miss those old fashioned card catalogues.
